Chapter 154: Yielding

After the meeting, Lu Fan returned to the office and leaned on the office chair to close his eyes and rest, thinking that Shen Jiqin would definitely come to "make trouble."

Sure enough, less than five minutes later, Shen Jiqin's face was gloomy, and he pushed the door and entered.

After standing still, he maintained his last sanity, and his voice questioned in a low voice: "Director Lu, since you arrived at the Education Bureau, I have considered myself respectful enough to you, fully cooperated with you in work, and didn't feel that I did anything wrong. I have worked in the Education Bureau for twenty years, and it can be said that I have worked hard for Ningyang's education cause, participated in the whole process from 'Universal Nine' to the current 'Double High,' and for the sake of Ningyang's funding and projects, I have drunk until my stomach bled many times, and I consider myself to have made great contributions. Why didn't you even seek my opinion and adjust my work division for no reason? We are all Ningyang people, and we can't do things like this in dealing with people! You are so arbitrary, it will make countless people who silently contribute to Ningyang's education cause cold-hearted!"

Lu Fan sat at the table, looked up at Shen Jiqin, his eyes calm and firm, and his tone replied steadily: "This is a work requirement. As a director, don't I have the right to adjust the division of labor of the team members?"

Hearing Lu Fan's answer, Shen Jiqin's emotions became more and more excited, and his voice became sharp and harsh: "What work requirement! You are clearly targeting me! I can't figure it out, where did I offend you? Why do you want to hit and retaliate against me like this?"

However, Lu Fan was not frightened by his momentum, still sitting calmly, and said lightly: "We were just nodding acquaintances before, there is no personal grievance, there is no hitting and retaliating. Secretary Shen, no matter what, too much is as bad as too little! You should restrain yourself, don't regret it until you have a problem!"

Shen Jiqin was even more angry, asking Lu Fan to make it clear, and threatened to reflect Lu Fan's arbitrariness to the County Party Committee, County Government, and higher-level departments.

Just then, Lu Fan suddenly pulled open the drawer, took out a thick stack of envelopes from it, and then threw them in front of Shen Jiqin expressionlessly.

"You have done a lot of work, but there are more problems! Look at it, these are all your reports. Not only do I have them, but the Discipline Inspection Commission has more! Do you think you can sit back and relax because those two principals didn't supply you? Now you are not low-key, do you think party discipline and national law are vegetarian? Come, tell me, where did the two houses in Chang'an, two houses in Yingjiang, and three houses in Ningyang come from? And those storefronts, did you save them by saving food and clothing with your wife?

Shen Jiqin hesitated for a moment and slowly opened the envelope. When he saw the content inside, his face instantly turned pale, and his original anger turned into deep fear in an instant.

These reports were like a sharp sword, stabbing Shen Jiqin's heart.

Lu Fan looked at Shen Jiqin quietly, "Looking at you as smart, you do stupid things! There are so many people reporting you, don't you understand that adjusting your division of labor is to protect you? Do you think party discipline and national law are child's play? Think about it yourself, I hope you do it yourself!" After speaking, he ignored Shen Jiqin and devoted himself to his work again, as if what had just happened had never happened.

Shen Jiqin's body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness, as if the whole world was collapsing. It seemed that he saw his tragic ending.

He knew deeply that once this report was made public, it would bring him a devastating blow.

Shen Jiqin silently organized the envelope, walked out of this oppressive office with stumbling steps, his heart filled with endless regret and fear.

"Leave those letters!" Lu Fan's voice exploded in Shen Jiqin's ears like a thunderclap.

He didn't dare to hesitate, immediately stopped, and obediently put the report in front of Lu Fan, his trembling voice carrying obvious fear: "Thank you, Director, for your magnanimity!"

Lu Fan didn't even look at Shen Jiqin, just said lightly: "Go busy with your work!" and continued to bury his head in processing the documents in his hand.

Shen Jiqin walked out of the director's office with floating steps as if he had been granted amnesty.

Seeing Secretary Shen walking out of the director's office with a pale face, the whole person was like an eggplant beaten by frost, completely losing his usual spirit, and the cadres of the Education Bureau had a clear understanding of the situation—Lu Fan's era had arrived.

Lu Fan thought carefully about this way of handling, sending his subordinates to the Discipline Inspection Commission would cause panic among the leading cadres of the Education Bureau, especially since he had just taken office, and he didn't want to be separated from everyone.

Furthermore, if you are not in that position, you don't seek political affairs. Investigating corruption is the business of the Discipline Inspection Commission. Just manage the education well, and there is no need to make enemies with anyone.

After Shen Jiqin returned to the office, he locked the door and fell on the bed, his body as if he had been drained of strength, not moving at all. At this moment, he was filled with despair and fear.

After a long period of thinking and struggling, he finally sat up slowly from the bed, and then began to organize the assessment materials of the middle school group.

Finally, he took a deep breath and resolutely walked toward the director's office.

When he gently knocked on the door of the director's office, Shen Jiqin's mood was particularly heavy.

After the door opened, he said in a sincere and humble tone: "Director, I am here to admit my mistake. At the meeting, my attitude was indeed bad, and I did not report the assessment situation of the middle school group in time, which brought a certain impact on the progress of the assessment work. Please forgive me."

Lu Fan looked up, swept a faint look at Shen Jiqin in front of him, and then said calmly: "Just tell me the specific situation, the results of the assessment need to be announced to various schools as soon as possible, and the winter vacation is about to start."

At this moment, a tense and mysterious atmosphere permeated every office of the Education Bureau.

The leading cadres lowered their voices, whispered, and discussed, and the topic revolved around the shocking changes that occurred in the bureau. What they were most concerned about was the redistribution of power, secretly calculating how to seek benefits in the new power pattern.

In Deputy Director Ren Kun's office, Enrollment Office Director Wang Fei smiled and said softly to Ren Kun: "Congratulations, Director Ren! You have mastered the personnel power. In the future, every time you evaluate professional titles, this threshold will probably be stepped on by principals and teachers!"

After listening, Ren Kun waved his hand slightly, his expression serious and responded: "Past lessons, future lessons! Director Lu trusts us, we can only work diligently and perform our duties in work!" He knew deeply that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and there could be no slightest slack and complacency.

Similarly, in Deputy Director Chang Qing's office, Teaching and Research Office Director Wang Kun Cheng also sat, smiling and saying: "Director Chang, I didn't expect the financial power to be adjusted to you. It seems that the director trusts you very much."

"Normal adjustment of division of labor, I can't see through it." Chang Qing was serious, "Doing your own job well is the most important thing!"

Early the next morning, the sun was bright, and everyone was surprised to find that Secretary Shen, as in the past, walked into the office building with a bright smile and steady steps, and greeted colleagues enthusiastically.

Facing the new division of labor adjustment, Shen Jiqin studied carefully and treated it seriously, planning how to better promote party style and clean government construction, build a clean campus, and strengthen the management of vocational middle schools, without any negative emotions.

The Education Bureau gradually returned to its past tranquility, and everything seemed to be in order on the surface. But in fact, the undercurrents in the dark never stopped, and all kinds of complex interpersonal relationships and interest entanglements were intertwined under this seemingly calm water surface. In the final analysis, the power of the unit is too great!

On January 20, the year-end summary meeting of the county education system was convened.

The meeting reported the half-year assessment results and arranged and deployed key tasks such as school safety and stability during the winter vacation, cleaning up end-of-term financial procedures, and work style and discipline during the holidays. Deputy County Chief Zhao Sijie attended the meeting, and the heads of the bureau's offices, stations, and schools attended the meeting. The meeting was presided over by Director Lu Fan.

At the meeting, Director Lu Fan affirmed and thanked the principals and teachers of the whole county for their hard work and unremitting efforts. And severely criticized the schools that were in the bottom three of the half-year assessment, were not timely in work, and had problems in school management, and gave them a "final ultimatum"!

After the routine work was arranged and deployed, Director Lu Fan's expression suddenly became serious, and he changed the subject and said: "Here, I want to talk about a stubborn disease in education work—paid tutoring! I think everyone knows that this behavior is deeply hated by the vast number of parents. Therefore, we must resolutely eliminate such phenomena! Comrades, we need to understand that everyone is engaged in the education cause and shoulders the sacred mission of teaching and educating people!"

Lu Fan slowly scanned everyone present and continued: "If we can't even be consistent in our words and deeds, how can we hope that students can establish correct values? Based on this, I solemnly declare here that starting from today, starting from this winter vacation, we must persevere in rectifying paid tutoring. Any teacher who dares to engage in paid tutoring will be severely punished once discovered, and will never be forgiven!"

"At the same time, the Education Bureau must increase supervision, establish a special rectification leadership group, conduct net-like search and investigation and squat-style secret visits, combine regular and irregular inspections, sort out key objects, encourage the masses to report, and implement 'zero tolerance' strikes against paid tutoring! Ensure that we can build a clean and upright education environment for Ningyang and resolutely defend the fairness, justice, and dignity of education!"

Finally, Deputy County Chief Zhao Sijie expressed that the County Government would strongly support the investigation and punishment of paid tutoring, emphasizing that the education system should improve political standing, strengthen responsibility, take the lead in resisting various unhealthy tendencies, consciously accept mass supervision, strive to create a festive atmosphere of upholding integrity and cleanliness, and ensure that everyone spends a happy, peaceful, clean, safe, safe, and civilized New Year.

The meeting ended in a solemn atmosphere, and this storm about paid tutoring had just begun...
